I've had a couple of different posts on here attempting to find Buddy the BP a tank mate or two. So far this "docile" creature has consumed or killed every tank mate under 4 inches. The typical mollies, guppies, platy, giant danio, and dwarf gourami.
I had him in a 55g with a mature African cichlid, but after a hardscape change that lead to some fighting and subsequently isolation. Buddy is now a lone ranger.
Long story short this terror of a fish has "won" the rights to self isolation in a 55g tank. Sure I am to blame for the lost fish but in my defense this guy was a purchase at my 6 year old's selection. Word to the wise, have the will power to say no to your kids or else you end up with a terror of a BP.
Still going to try to find a community type tank for this little booger and will share more about his journey out of isolation.
